I’m not good at finding the lists within GR, so I search google using things like “goodreads books set in . . .” There are actually several GR lists related to Texas.
The China Bayles mysteries by Susan Wittig Albert in the mythical town of Pecan Springs, Texas. They are cozy mysteries but on the higher end, if you know what I mean.
News of the World was wonderful.
Texas series by Fern Michael’s. Texas Rich may be the first in the series.
Books by Larry McMurty, Galveston Hurricane Mystery series,
McMurty’s Anything for Billy was excellent.
Larry McMurtrey is the quintessential Texan writer.
Yes! Lonesome Dove, All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers, The Last Picture Show

Charlaine Harris Midnight, Texas
News of the World excellent!
Lonesome Dove
Lonesome dove?
Oh and News of the World
The Son by Phillip Meyer is riveting, historical, feminist. That last descriptor might cause disagreement, however.
Feminist? Not sure as main characters are male, right?
actually the grand daughter figures prominently and is a well developed character; she is a woman competing in a man’s world, successfully.
Loved this book.
Giant by Edna Ferber! The movie is my fave!!
I enjoyed the book but it’s one of the few times I liked the movie better.
The Son – partly in Texas partly in New Mexico -historical fiction.
Texas by Michener
The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale.
11/22/63
The Kingdom, The Power and the Glory – kind of romance/historical.
